Businesses in Tonbridge and Malling which are looking to reduce their carbon footprint can now apply for a green grant to support their work.
The Green Business Grant Scheme is an initiative delivering part of Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council’s (TMBC) wider economic recovery and climate change strategies.
Part-funded through the government’s UK Shared Prosperity fund, grants of up to £5,000 available to cover up to 40 per cent of the costs of reducing the carbon footprint of commercial premises (including equipment and machinery).
This grant is open to Tonbridge and Malling borough businesses that operate from commercial premises.
Jeremy Whittaker, the council’s Strategic Economic Regeneration Manager, said: “While there are many approaches businesses can take to address climate change, securing the necessary funding for changes is often the biggest hurdle. This scheme offers a way to help businesses make progress toward their sustainability goals.”
Applications close on 28 May 2025 and can be submitted via TMBC’s website.
